Re: John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue

Let's see... The source is a problem, insults, scoff, name calling, Cognitive Dissonance...

You guys are just TOO FUNNY!

The above is the rebuttal to:

Under John Brennan, the CIA operated as an opposition research outfit for the Hillary Clinton campaign.

It appears from leaked news stories in the British press that Brennan’s oafish spying on Trump began around April 2016, right after Trump’s biggest primary victories. As it became urgently clear to Brennan that Trump was going to face off against Hillary, Brennan turned to “intelligence partners” in Europe for dirt on Trump. But they didn’t have any, save some pretty skimpy material on “contacts” between Trump campaign officials and Russians.

Whatever Brennan collected was so insubstantial that Robert Mueller hasn’t even interviewed him about it. Consider that for a second: Mueller was supposedly appointed to complete the counterintelligence probe into Trumpworld, and he hasn’t felt the need to talk to the father of it. Brennan has tried to explain this astonishing discrepancy away by vaguely saying that whatever Mueller needs he could find in “CIA files.”

The mental giants that post on this forum are truly amazing...

LOL!!

Like the guy that posts opinion as facts, and never posts on factual posts.

Re: John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue

In his own clumsy way, Brennan knew that he was treading on a political minefield. He referred to the FBI/CIA’s spying on the Trump campaign as an “exceptionally, exceptionally sensitive issue.” That helpful crumb comes from Russian Roulette, the book by David Corn and Michael Isikoff.

Re: John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue

Only in the fetid brains of the far right could a conspiracy theory this absurd take root and grow.

First off, the true strength of the American Government is in the millions of partiotic, hardworking and honest Americans who come in every day to make it work.

Republicans hate this, because they know it cannot be controlled and turned into a political weapon, so they have been turning functions over to contractors who have allegience to their stock holders, not the Constitution.

But the ONE place this privatization has not been effective is our intelligence services, albeit Republican refusal to increase staffing levels has turned a lot of the "cataloging" of intelligence over to private firms like TRW who then hire the likes of Chris Boyce (The Falcon) who sell our secrets to the Soviets, so instead of GOPerLords controlling the operation we have folks with much lower pay and loyalty undermining our Nation for our enemies.

Seems to me Republicans have been told to discredit all our Intelligence Services in order to prop up Der Trumpers legal defense when he's impeached, removed from office and tried for Treason. If there's another legitimate goal involved here, I'd like to hear it.

PanJ said, "And you wonder why people laugh at these posts? It's like the sun rising in the east that if someone criticizes Dear Leader there will be attempts to smear them. That may work just fine with the gullible base, but not so much outside that bubble."

PanJ, why are they incapable of seeing what's so obvious to everyone else? The only answer is cult behavior. In a cult, you never criticize nor disagree with your leader. Even worse, you take any criticism of your leader personally. Do you think any cult members criticized Jim Jones?

Cognitive Dissonance is an integral and essential member mandate for each and every cult and group that is based upon mandated acceptance of belief over fact...

Re: John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue

The revealing crumb left in the David Corn/Michael Isikoff book on the Russia investigation.

Once again, no attribution to the media outlet from which this was copied VERBATIM.

The media outlet, the neo-conservative American Spectator, is owned by The American Spectator Foundation, a non-profit, that is clearly influenced, through monies received, by the KOCH BROTHERS themselves.

Re: John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue

jimc91: Many questions in all of this remain unanswered, but this much is clear: John Brennan’s transformation of the CIA into a branch office of the Hillary campaign will go down as one of the grossest abuses in the agency’s history.
